  Note: Operational growth reflects percentage change over the prior year excluding the impact 
   of exchange rates. In order to compute results excluding the impact of exchange rates, current 
   year U.S. dollar sales are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the current year average 
   foreign exchange rates and then those amounts are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by 
   the prior year average foreign exchange rates.

Second-quarter 2016 worldwide sales of $5.3 billion increased 3.2 percent on a reported basis, including an unfavorable 3.2 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 6.4 percent on an operational basis.

International sales increased 2.8 percent on a reported basis and 7.5 percent on an operational basis in the second quarter. International operational growth was led by strong performance across all of Abbott's business segments.

Emerging market sales increased 1.1 percent on a reported basis and 8.5 percent on an operational basis in the second quarter. Excluding the impact of Venezuelan operations, emerging market sales would have increased 4.8 percent on a reported basis and 12.4 percent on an operational basis.

Core Laboratory Diagnostics sales increased 3.4 percent on a reported basis in the second quarter, including an unfavorable 2.2 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 5.6 percent on an operational basis. Operational sales growth in the quarter was led by double-digit growth in emerging markets. During the quarter, Abbott launched AlinIQ, a first-of-its-kind professional services and informatics solution that enhances diagnostic laboratory productivity and flexibility in managing data throughout hospital networks.

Molecular Diagnostics sales increased 2.5 percent on a reported basis in the second quarter, including an unfavorable 1.3 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 3.8 percent on an operational basis. As expected, continued strong growth in Abbott's infectious disease testing business was partially offset by the planned scale down of its genetics business.

Point of Care Diagnostics sales increased 11.5 percent on a reported and operational basis. Double-digit sales growth was led by continued adoption of Abbott's i-STAT(R) handheld system in the U.S. and international markets.

Worldwide Medical Devices sales increased 6.4 percent on a reported basis in the second quarter, including an unfavorable 0.4 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 6.8 percent on an operational basis.

Worldwide sales of Vascular products increased 8.3 percent on a reported basis in the second quarter, including an unfavorable 0.6 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 8.9 percent on an operational basis. Sales were favorably impacted by the resolution of previously disputed third-party royalty revenue related to the prior year. Excluding this impact, worldwide sales of Vascular products would have increased 4.1 percent on a reported basis and 4.7 percent on an operational basis, and U.S. sales would have increased 6.2 percent on a reported and operational basis.

Sales growth in Vascular products was led by double-digit growth of MitraClip(R) , Abbott's device for the treatment of mitral regurgitation, as Abbott continues to build the market for this first-in-class device. Double-digit operational sales growth in Abbott's Endovascular business was driven by vessel closure products and Supera(R) , Abbott's unique peripheral stent for the treatment of blockages in the leg. In July, the U.S. FDA approved Abbott's Absorb bioresorbable stent, the only fully dissolving heart stent. Absorb offers a unique benefit to patients, as it is designed to treat coronary artery disease like a metallic stent, but then disappears after the artery is healed, leaving no metal behind to restrict natural vessel motion.

Worldwide Diabetes Care sales increased 1.7 percent on a reported basis in the second quarter, including an unfavorable 1.1 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 2.8 percent on an operational basis. International sales growth was driven by continued consumer uptake of FreeStyle(R) Libre, Abbott's revolutionary Flash Glucose Monitoring System that eliminates routine finger sticks and finger-stick calibration. In the U.S., sales were impacted by competitive and market dynamics.

Worldwide Medical Optics sales increased 6.2 percent on a reported basis in the second quarter, including a favorable 0.8 percent effect of foreign exchange, and increased 5.4 percent on an operational basis. Operational sales growth was driven by continued market uptake of cataract products in the premium intraocular lens segment. In July, Abbott received U.S. FDA approval for the TECNIS Symfony intraocular lenses, the first and only lenses in the U.S. that provide a full range of continuous high-quality vision following cataract surgery.

ABBOTT'S FULL-YEAR EARNINGS-PER-SHARE GUIDANCE

Abbott projects earnings per share from continuing operations under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) of $1.26 to $1.36 for the full year 2016.

Abbott forecasts net specified items for the full year 2016 of approximately $0.88 per share. Specified items include intangible amortization expense, the impact of the Venezuelan currency devaluation in the first quarter, expenses associated with acquisitions, including bridge facility fees, and charges related to cost reduction initiatives and other expenses, partially offset by the favorable resolution of various tax positions from prior years.

Excluding specified items, projected earnings per share from continuing operations remains unchanged at $2.14 to $2.24 for the full year 2016.

  1)    2016 Net foreign exchange (gain) loss includes a loss of $477 million related to the revaluation

         government's official floating exchange rate. 
----  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
  2)    2016 Tax expense on Earnings from Continuing Operations includes the impact of a net tax benefit 
         of approximately $145 million as a result of the resolution of various tax positions from 
         prior years, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of non-deductible foreign exchange 
         losses related to Venezuela. 
----  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
  3)    2016 Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Common Share from Discontinued Operations, net of taxes 
         primarily reflect the impact of a net tax benefit of $266 million as a result of the resolution 
         of various tax positions from prior years. 
----  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
        2015 Earnings and Diluted Earnings per Common Share from Discontinued Operations, net of taxes 
         reflect the after-tax gain of $1.736 billion on the sale of the developed markets branded 
         generics pharmaceuticals and animal health businesses to Mylan on Feb. 27, 2015 and Zoetis 
         on Feb. 10, 2015, respectively; the first-quarter financial results from these businesses 
         up to the date of sale; and a favorable adjustment to tax expense as a result of the resolution 
         of various tax positions from previous years related to AbbVie operations. 
----  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
  4)    2016 Net Earnings from Continuing Operations, excluding Specified Items, excludes net after-tax 
         charges of $772 million, or $0.52 per share, for intangible amortization expense, the foreign 
         exchange loss related to Venezuela, expenses associated with acquisitions, including bridge 
         facility fees, and other charges related to cost reduction initiatives and other expenses, 
         partially offset by the favorable impact of a net tax benefit as a result of the resolution 
         of various tax positions from prior years. 
----  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
        2015 Net Earnings from Continuing Operations, excluding Specified Items, excludes net after-tax 
         charges of $190 million, or $0.12 per share, for intangible amortization expense, expenses 
         associated with cost reduction initiatives and expenses related to acquisitions, partially 
         offset by a gain on the sale of a portion of Abbott's position in Mylan stock and a decrease 
         in the fair value of contingent consideration related to a business acquisition.

   Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations          $0.87        $0.12        $0.99 
 

Specified items reflect intangible amortization expense of $307 million and other expenses of $200 million, primarily associated with cost reduction initiatives and acquisitions, partially offset by a gain on the sale of a portion of Abbott's position in Mylan stock of $207 million and a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration related to a business acquisition.

  1)                       Reported tax rate on a GAAP basis for 2016 includes the impact of a net tax benefit 
                            of approximately 
                            $145 million as a result of the resolution of various tax positions from prior 
                            years, partially 
                            offset by the unfavorable impact of non-deductible foreign exchange losses related 
                            to Venezuela.
